Configuring Swiss

[BenoitRen]

As I only use Swiss with retail discs, is there a way to configure Swiss so it immediately loads (but not executes) the first (and only) dol from the DVD? There seem to be some buttons on the bottom, but I can't reach them. Of course, that may be because I don't have a memory card inserted.

If I need to change some source code myself and compile it, that's fine. I'm a programmer.

i'm not quite sure what you're trying to do (since you're only using retail discs) ?!

When I load Swiss, it's to launch a GameCube game that's in my Wii's DVD drive with forced 480p. Does that explain it?

not really, but maybe that's just me right now.

//edit: alirght, saw your request in the other thread, makes sense now. didn't think of compilations.

What I posted in the feature requests thread is not related, though.

Look, when I boot Swiss, I have to select the device to use. In my case, I always select the DVD drive. Then I get a list of games found on the DVD. In my case that's always one game as it's a retail GameCube game. What I would like is for Swiss to skip these steps so it immediately loads my game.

got you!

So it automatically goes to your DVD you're browsing but you'd like it to autoboot it instead?

[BenoitRen]

No, it doesn't. When I start Swiss I see this:

Of course, that should be Swiss 0.3 and it shouldn't be a game loaded from a SD card, but I couldn't find a better screenshot.

[emu_kidid]

oh ok - yeah I can work that in but unfortunately you won't be able to configure it like that at the moment without me changing code.

[liquitt]

so you basically want to skip the Cheats/Video Mode select screen. ok.

[BenoitRen]

No, I want to skip the "Select device" and "Select game" screens.

emu: would a configuation option like "autoboot disc if found in drive Y/N" be possible?

[emu_kidid]

that's difficult cause there isn't a storage you can always rely on in Swiss to be there so I'm not sure how useful that'd be.

[Diminuendo]

I have this same annoyance, I also find it a pain to have to turn on forced widescreen every time I play. Would it be crazy to have swiss 4.0 make its own save file in memory slot A to remember my settings for each game?

Added to auto navigate to the DVD banner screen if a GC disc is detected at bootup.
